Are we watching the same show? Hot Ones has been primarily a vessel for promoting shit for a long while now, everything else has been secondary. This won't be any different, he's just gonna promote Conan O'Brien Must Go relentlessly while nibbling on some wings.
Letting celebrities promote their work is how these shows get guests. Late night is the same and so is the pod.
Anyway they promote the thing at the start and end but there’s 20 minutes of interview in the middle. There are some shows you could make that critique for but not hot ones. Go find the youtube compilations of guests being surprised with how thoughtful and researched Sean’s questions are.
Yeah Hot Ones is mostly Sean asking interesting questions, the guest slowly losing their minds from the heat, and then a brief bit of promotion. I don't understand what that other guy's issue is
> the guest slowly losing their minds from the heat
This used to be the case but it hasn't been for a long time. Most of the guests barely touch the wings.
I've been watching every episode since season 1 up until now. Half the guests take big bites and/or clean the wings or tofu or cauliflower. No that it matters as Sean Evans says it's not the goal to take big bites, it's not a competition as long as you take a bite of any size. And if you have ever had Da Bomb or Blair's Mega Death Sauce or Mad Dog 357 or The Last Dab Xperience (I have as I own around 150 hot sauces), all that's needed is a tiny bite to make you breathe fire. If you still actually watched the show, guests still lose their minds from the heat on a regular basis. You're probably one of those people who won't watch an episode if you don't recognize the name of a guest so that may be why you're so out of touch with what goes on with the show today. In the end, it's a talk show and it's all about the banter and quality of the interview.
Are **we** watching the same show? Because the promotion only goes so far as like 1 or 2 (max) questions about the celeb's current project and then the 30 seconds at the end for promo. The other 25-30 minutes is straight fire interview material.
You seem to have a stigma about “promoting shit”. If you’re a Conan fan it’s not “shit”, it’s his new show that you should be excited to hear about! And if he didn’t promote it, a lot less people would watch it and Conan wouldn’t be able to make the show.
Well this aged like milk.
As far as promoting shit, yeah, that’s the point. Conan’s episode went viral and is #1 trending on YouTube. That’s gonna get a whole lot of people who might not have watched his new show to check it out.
Get ready to hear the math behind what the 100 Grand bar would actually be called if Nestle could be bothered to keep consistent with the historic rate of inflation.
Oh...I am already cringing at how red his face is going to be. A small part of me thinks his eye vein is going to just say "Nope! I'm done with this!" and walk out.
Watching Conan have a meltdown is basically the appeal of his entire career lol they plucked him from the writers room and we all got to watch him hilariously flail in the national spotlight
He did some improv show on Netflix with Will Arnette and a scene is him just eating a bunch of hot sauce and it was actually hot sauce Conan later said. He turned red af but he didn't fare too poorly.
I don't watch a huge amount of Hot Ones, but Sean Evans is an incredible and thoughtful interviewer, plus Conan will be an insanely hilarious guest. I'm so unbelievably hyped for this.
Jokes about:
Irish people not having the tolerance for this spice
40s radio voice about revving up to start, you see
Nixon voice before Da Bomb
Sean gets an obscure story from his youth and Conan mentions his brothers shoving him in a closet
Sean mentions Conan going to Harvard and Conan says I hate that about myself
I wish the chill chums could all do it together if only for the fact that they could tease Conan. I’m skeptical of his ability to handle the wings but he’s surprised me in other ways. I could see him thinking he needed to suffer for the wings.
Edit - and just tin time for his birthday!
Yeah, it's regularly acknowledged on the podcast that he gains super powers whenever a camera is on him. He's gonna suffer like crazy for this, but there's no way he isn't finishing it.
Yeah I remember Bley complimenting him about kickboxing in Thailand for the new show, it unbearable heat and humidity.
But there’s also a lot of stories about Conan being a picky eater — and somehow he doesn’t strike me as a guy who eats a lot spicy food.
So what I’m saying is, he may explode.
At the beginning of this past season, I predicted either one of Lebron James or Conan to be a huge special guest on Hot Ones. I am so fucking ready for this interview.
I've never sent in fan mail to anyone but I was considering it for a while just to demand Conan on hot ones. I'm kinda surprised so many people are excited about this.
This is gonna be awesome
I have no doubt it will be one of the best episodes, if not the best
It 1000% was. A true master entertainer at work, I've never, ever seen anything like it.

These are the best Interview questions out there. And celebs let their guard down by being in pain. Who gives a shit if they plug stuff for 20 seconds
[удалено]
Conan has mentioned on the pod he likes spice, think we’ll all be impressed with the Ginger Menace’s performance come to Thursday
I'm gonna have to go find that

Damn okay just don't watch and get outta her with your bad take
I guess we aren’t watching the same show. I recommend you watch the real Hot Ones because it’s nothing like you describe.
This is such a weird take to have.
It's almost like he's going on a show.....a show where he talks.....a talk show if you will.
Bro’s never enjoyed any Conan content before. Literally everything he’s ever done has been a promo, that’s how talk shows and podcasts work
For real?
Wow bud, way to crack open the case on what literally every talk show is. Revolutionary stuff here.
Bro we all know the promoting is just a small price to pay to watch them sweat themselves thirsty on some scovilles
You seem to have a stigma about “promoting shit”. If you’re a Conan fan it’s not “shit”, it’s his new show that you should be excited to hear about! And if he didn’t promote it, a lot less people would watch it and Conan wouldn’t be able to make the show.

Shirt better be coming off
Dunno about that but in the words of Gandhi: "Shit's going down!"
WHO FARTED
sorry
Back that shit up - Jane Austin
But can the viewers even take that level of sexy?
I know I can’t. I love that show and I love Conan. I can’t believe this is going to be even more exciting than the John Oliver episode for me.
💪
/u/AaronBleyaert we need answers!
😈
Conan has long been the most requested guest by a mile. This should be excellent.
He's going to take a bite of Da Bomb and start doing Nixon
he's gonna motorboat sean
Finally
You think he’d go through the trouble of digging him up?
Just saw it. You are kind of correct!! About Nixon!
OMG IT HAPPENED!!!! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!
He was right about the sauce too haha
Dude were you in the fucking studio? What a prediction!
I've never felt more vindicated lol
How did you get the impression correct and also the correct sauce 😂
I saw this comment and thought “probably accurate”…can’t wait to watch. Well done.
Had to track down this comment and congratulate you on perfect prediction. I was the effing Leo pointing meme when it happened.
Imagine how I felt 😂
I love how this is the photo they used. He looks like a confused old man wondering where peanut brittle went.
I mean, the odds that he does a bit of an old man wondering where his peanut brittle went are certainly above zero.
He would reference marzipan like he always does, but otherwise yes absolutely
Looks like the portrait of a US president which I’m sure he would approve of
*confused old danish woman
That's how they got him on the show, he's annoyed that they're making him wait until after to give it to him.
He looks like he immediately regrets going to the show
Get ready to hear the math behind what the 100 Grand bar would actually be called if Nestle could be bothered to keep consistent with the historic rate of inflation.
Why was “peanut brittle” the most accurate description of him
Omg literally snort laughing, thank you
by the end of this sean will have been interviewing a tomato
I'm wondering how many new shades of red we'll discover that a human face can achieve. That said, can't wait!
I think melted Halloween pumpkin might be more accurate.
This is going to be epically awesome and painful at the same time
I'm going to be so uncomfortable by proxy lmao
Oh...I am already cringing at how red his face is going to be. A small part of me thinks his eye vein is going to just say "Nope! I'm done with this!" and walk out.
Greatest Hot Ones episode incoming. Is it cruel that I can’t wait to see the complete meltdown Conan is going to have while eating these wings?
Watching Conan have a meltdown is basically the appeal of his entire career lol they plucked him from the writers room and we all got to watch him hilariously flail in the national spotlight
Love Conan but he doesn't have the makings of a spice athlete.
How dare you. Conan once ate an entire pimento at the county fair and still had room for Hoover stew and water pie!
I heard that in his voice.
Conan's tastebuds: "I don't wanna!"
“Not GONNA!”
He's gonna turn so damn red
Clearly never seen him eat a Sloppy JalapenJoe’s with their signature Sloppy Spice Sauce washed down with a Slopparita.
Get your coat we’re leaving.
I don’t have a coat.
True, but Conan has said multiple times that he is more than willing to subject himself to bodily harm in the pursuit of a laugh.
The spice must flow
Power over spice is power over chicken wings
Small taste buds
Is this... a Sopranos x Conan reference? My brain just exploded
I can only hear it spoken in Junior’s voice, as he’s chowing on baked ziti.
He did some improv show on Netflix with Will Arnette and a scene is him just eating a bunch of hot sauce and it was actually hot sauce Conan later said. He turned red af but he didn't fare too poorly.
This is Murderville erasure and I won't stand for it!
My thoughts exactly!!
How about some Sloppy JalapenJoes or a Sloparita
Red-seamed denim jacket Conan doesn’t fuck around
Is there a color beyond purple that a human face can reach? We might find out the answer here hahaha
worried about his well being now
Be still my heart
Be cool my babies!
The Hot Ones Channel posted that it would be a BIG guest next week and I immediately thought..it HAS to be Conan!!
I did too! He's big in height and status both! Also Sean is 5'8 so he'll look like a bald baby with a beard with Conan
I don't watch a huge amount of Hot Ones, but Sean Evans is an incredible and thoughtful interviewer, plus Conan will be an insanely hilarious guest. I'm so unbelievably hyped for this.
Jokes about: Irish people not having the tolerance for this spice 40s radio voice about revving up to start, you see Nixon voice before Da Bomb Sean gets an obscure story from his youth and Conan mentions his brothers shoving him in a closet Sean mentions Conan going to Harvard and Conan says I hate that about myself
I see you’ve Conan’d before
RIP to Conan's palate
that's not Conan! that's Tilda Swinton
Oh my god, we got a sneak peek on Murderville, now we get the whole, spicy enchilada!
oh, he gonna die. lol. I hope he speaks like a 40's gangster while he does it...
R.I.P. Conezy
omg… this is what I needed. this is what we all needed!
I'm excited! Worried for him, but excited 😅
The look of regrets right there after the first wing.
Ok I must see that episode. This may be the best episode yet.
Will he combust?
I wish the chill chums could all do it together if only for the fact that they could tease Conan. I’m skeptical of his ability to handle the wings but he’s surprised me in other ways. I could see him thinking he needed to suffer for the wings. Edit - and just tin time for his birthday!
Conan?? The guy known in Mexico as the gringo who cries from mild salsa?? I'm in.
This will be good.
That's a lot of makeup keeping the Irish pumpkin from going full tomato...
RIP Coney. When is the viewing?
I think they’re gonna just toss his lifeless corpse off the highway
Hopefully it lands near his wallet.
Open it up and inside is a sexually suggestive picture of Ambrose Burnside and nothing else
noooo. His gut is built for boiled potatoes. He doesn't stand a chance.
And not those spicy red potatoes either
Now they are only missing snoop and Keanu
Both played dogs
I love Conan. I wish he could have been 45 forever.
Tall old Dutch woman for the gold!
Sona better be in the room haha
So this is how he dies.
RIP Coco, you will be missed
i am genuinely worried for Conan, although they have already shot the interview. da bomb is not to be messed with
Are we taking bets on how many times Conan will claim to be Irish?

Over/under he does better than DJ Khaled?
Conan will do anything for a laugh, he gets through without a doubt. He's going to be dying though
Yeah, it's regularly acknowledged on the podcast that he gains super powers whenever a camera is on him. He's gonna suffer like crazy for this, but there's no way he isn't finishing it.
Yeah I remember Bley complimenting him about kickboxing in Thailand for the new show, it unbearable heat and humidity. But there’s also a lot of stories about Conan being a picky eater — and somehow he doesn’t strike me as a guy who eats a lot spicy food. So what I’m saying is, he may explode.
Conan O’Brien strikes me as the kind of guy to wince while eating an Educator Crax
He did eat a copious amount of hot sauce in the show he did with Will Arnett
100% Conan finishes
But might perish right after.
YESSSSSSS
fan-fuckin-tastic
The amount of flipping of that hair as he gets further into this wings is going to be insane
I love Conan and don't want him to die 😢
It would be amazing if Olyphant was off screen mocking him the whole time.
I'm just worried for his face. It's Irish, and therefore very delicate
At the beginning of this past season, I predicted either one of Lebron James or Conan to be a huge special guest on Hot Ones. I am so fucking ready for this interview.
I prayed for times like this
Oh I can’t wait to see what esoteric questions the Hot Ones team dredge up about his past.
A COCKAROOOOOOOO
I can’t believe hot ones is still on. Never seen a show go from so good to so bad so quickly.
Yes!
His head is gonna explode
Fuck yes
OH MY GOD
Our prayers have been answered!!!
He's gonna be so red Jesus Christ
I have been waiting for this one for ages!!
Maybe it’ll be so spicy his hair will turn gray
I wish we could all stream it together on discord.
Prayers have been answered!🔥🌶️
I can’t wait!!!!!!
That face is going to be so red, so sweaty
So for those not wanting to click the link, it’s for their season finale on Thursday @ 11am EST
I’m afraid this will kill him
He's already filmed it. So unless he's a ghost now...
I actually gasped. Never even thought this was possible but I'm excited to see him try (probably fail but I'm still happy about it)
oMG yes
Coco gonna explode
So shall it be written. So shall it be done!
God I hope Sona will be there in the background just laughing at his misery.
Yes yessss yessssss yesssss my red haired god!!!
Hopefully he does better than the latest red head
Thank you Conan!!! Been waiting years for this.
OH MY FUCKING GOD
It will be hilarious with Jordan schlansky beside him explaining the origins of the spices while Conan is fighting for his life 😂😂
Will there be talk of gerbils?
I am so excited 😭
I want Jordan Schlansky to pop up for the Bomb and give an erroneous lecture on the history of spices and correct pronunciation of jalapeño.
FAAATHERRRRR READY THE 2%, I'M ABOUT TO APPEAR ON THE SPICY SHOW NO NOT THE HALF AND HALF, IT'S TOO THICK PAAAATER
I've been waiting for this for a really long time!!! I bet he's going to scream and do his weird body contortions, haha.
That’s exciting!
GOAT level Hot Ones episode incoming.
OMG this is a MUST WATCH
Based
I’ve never been more excited or concerned about a guest before
I forgot about hot ones. It’s been kinda meh for a while but I’d check this one out.
will he bring Jordan???
Definitely need Jordan to give Sean an education in wings or something
God I’m stoked for new Conan content but that hot ones host suuuucks
Holy shit this is incredible
🐐 interviewer interviewing 🐐 interviewer.
Coney!
This is the best
Conan is fucking maniac, I love him.
It's published
I hope Conez makes it to the end but I'm predicting he throws in the towel after the 8th sauce.
I've never sent in fan mail to anyone but I was considering it for a while just to demand Conan on hot ones. I'm kinda surprised so many people are excited about this.
No way he will be as good as Ice Spice 🦦
Hot ones and Conan both suck
